W114/115 subframe restoration

This week's project. Reworking a subframe for my 280C project car (I "project" I'll be done with it in about 2009, or so).

"El nasty" subframe from a '71 250C donor.

Look at all the crap on the ground and I've just STARTED to disassemble and clean it!

A view from above. Look at the subframe bushing sockets. A common and much overlooked problem is the corrosion of the rear cups. For some reason, the coupes seem to be more prone to this.

Notice the difference of the center mounting holes.
